Public bug reported:
Up-to-date pip might fail because ubuntu ships some egg-info files for
stdlib packages in /usr/lib/python2.7/, but egg-info files are only for
locally installed packages.
How to reproduce with argparse:
$ virtualenv venv
$ . venv/bin/activate
$ pip install -U pip
$ pip install -U argparse
Collecting argparse
Downloading argparse-1.4.0-py2.py3-none-any.whl
Installing collected packages: argparse
Found existing installation: argparse 1.2.1
Detected a distutils installed project ('argparse') which we cannot uninstall.
The metadata provided by distutils does not contain a list of files which have
been installed, so pip does not know which files to uninstall.
** Affects: python2.7 (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
